Need a rant.
3 yr old rat living with her three 2 yr old sisters.
Noticed last week that she'd lost LOTS of weight and was being very aggressively groomed so popped her into the quarantine cage to feed her up and keep an eye on her.
Poor thing is riddled with lice. Washed and olive oil bathed her, getting some spot on tomorrow but my poor baby
pic was once I'd let the oil kill the little bastards so she looks even balder than normal. Makes me so sad that I can't even put her back in so her friends can clean her because they'll get them too.
Happier pic also attached for balance (look how much weight she's lost)
